Paste a title, description, or post and see how it fits every limit that matters. Pair with the meta tags generator and SEO title generator. Your text never leaves the browser.

characters total

Google truncates SERP titles and descriptions by pixel width, not character count. These limits are useful guides, not guarantees.

About this tool

Paste once — the checker runs against Google SERP title and meta description guides, Open Graph, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, email subject, and YouTube limits. Each row flags over/under and shows a truncation preview. Meta keywords is counted but not truncated.

Google SERP limits are pixel-based, so a wide "W" eats space faster than a narrow "i". These character counts are practical rules of thumb, not guarantees. Useful before you publish or wire metadata in your CMS.
